Stewarding This Moment in Church Planting
Jan 2900:43:33Tap to summarizeMoments of spiritual renewal have marked church history in powerful ways. Adam Flynt leads a timely conversation with Matt Chandler and Jamin Roller, asking how the church should respond when God seems to be stirring again. Reflecting on historic movements of the Spirit, they discuss the signs of renewed curiosity, repentance, and hunger for Jesus emerging across college campuses, in public conversations, and within local churches. The question isn’t whether something is happening, but whether we will simply observe it or step faithfully into it. Together, they call pastors and church planters to steward this moment with humility and obedience, asking the question that shapes it all: Is Jesus truly our greatest treasure?
Transcribe →Prioritizing International Church-to-Church Partnerships
Jan 1500:34:12Tap to summarizeGuest host Scott Zeller is joined by Adam Ramsey and Dwight Bernier for a thoughtful conversation on church-to-church partnerships and why they matter for the global vision of the church. They explore how the healthiest partnerships don’t start with strategy, but with genuine curiosity that grows into intentional friendship. Along the way, they touch on the unique challenges of ministry in Canada (including a lighthearted nod to polar bears) and give three truths that should not be underestimated. Overall, this episode reminds us that Acts 29 is more than an organization—it’s a network of churches on mission together.
Transcribe →Gospel Doctrine Leading to Gospel Culture
Dec 1801:06:50Tap to summarizeWhat does it look like when gospel doctrine shapes not just what we believe, but how we live together as a church? TJ Tims and Sam Allberry from Immanuel Nashville help us answer that question. Together, they unpack how right belief leads to right culture—one marked by honesty, grace, and a shared immersion in the gospel from the pastor down. They also talk candidly about the weariness that comes from faithful ministry and how being tired from doing the right things can actually be a privilege
Transcribe →Church Planting Down Under
Dec 400:47:30Tap to summarizeA change in theological conviction can unravel and rebuild a pastor’s ministry at the same time. Kyllum Lewis from Life Centre Church in Australia shares his story—from charismatic roots and leading his parents’ church to embracing new convictions that reshaped how he leads and loves his people. Kyllum opens up about the emotional and spiritual weight of pastoring, his experience with anxiety and panic attacks, and how the Psalms reminded him that our struggles are not our identity. He also reflects on why outside counsel is essential in challenging seasons and the warning signs church planters should pay attention to. Through it all, Kyllum brings us back to one steady truth: God’s grace really is that good.
